I feel like I am taking a possibly life-threatening risk by saying this since people may want to hurt me....

Nicholas Cage is not a good actor. More specifically maybe I should say he doesn't have a lot of range. I like a lot of stuff he was in and some of his 90s/early 2000s stuff is a large part of my childhood like Con Air, Face Off, The Rock, Raising Arizona (80s), even It Could Happen to You, and stuff that a lot of people have never heard of like Trapped In Paradise. Shit, I even wore my VHS copy of Raising Arizona out as a kid. I even enjoyed some of the stuff where he tried to be more serious like The Weather Man.

As many of the movies of his that I could think of off the top of my head that I enjoyed you wouldn't expect me to really have anything bad to say about him. And I can't quit put my finger on why I don't think he's good. It's partly because it feels like every character is mostly the same with the same mannerisms and stuff.

I haven't spent a lot of time figuring out why. It's just something that's been floating around in my head for a little while.
